Description

Women Out at Work (WOW) network, in conjunction with DWF LLP & Lloyds Banking Group, would like to invite you to an event, which will be a panel session focused on the personal stories of successful diverse women in different industries:

Sarah Hobbs is the Managing Director of Talent & Potential, a consultancy business working for a wide range of clients on their graduate and talent programmes. Before joining T&P, Sarah worked for several large corporate organisations heading up talent and learning and development. In 2017, she came out publicly as a transgender woman and began her transition process.

Julie Musesoglu is a Public Sector Land specialist at Homes England. After coming out at 16 and having to leave her family home, her career plans were put on hold, with her dropping out of education so that she could work full time to support herself. She started off in call centre jobs before joining the Civil Service as an administrator. She has since began to study a surveying degree in her spare time, which has supported her career progression at Homes England. Julie founded and chairs Homes England’s national LGBT network which is going from strength to strength. She also played a key part in the promotion of LGBT retirement homes, which has led to the UK’s first home being announced. Julie is now focussing on trying to improve LGBT inclusivity in the construction industry, trying to make it a career choice regardless of sexual orientation/gender identity, and helping to tackle the skills shortage in the industry.

Suzanne Barnett is a focused financial services professional with 20 years’ experience in Lloyds Banking Group. Her current role is Lead for our Specialist Client Support team within Group Transformation, providing support to our key and complex commercial clients utilising our online channels.

Gina Battye described as “Britain’s equivalent to Oprah Winfrey”, Gina Battye is one of the world’s hottest rising stars. Gina is the leading voice for LGBT self help. She is an internationally sought after teacher, LGBT coach and award-winning LGBT speaker. Gina is a highly regarded LGBT consultant, working with companies around the world on LGBT Inclusion Strategy. Through her work as a regular columnist for LGBT magazines worldwide, TV Show Host, The Soul Work Meet Ups nationwide AND as a best-selling author, Gina is advising, mentoring and transforming the lives of thousands of LGBT individuals around the world.
